“All Mike Tyson Binance NFT Mystery Box holders will be able to connect to an additional web portal that will verify ownership of a Mike Tyson Binance Mystery Box NFT. Once verified, all holders can input their wallet address and receive three FREE AIRDROPS of special edition Mike Tyson NFTs throughout 2022,” Binance noted.

Tyson is not the only boxer who has decided to explore the NFT space by releasing his own line of digital collectibles.

Earlier in March, two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko released an NFT series on the OpenSea marketplace. The Ukrainian boxer wanted to collect funds for his country, that has been under war from Russia since February 24.

Meanwhile, the craze of buying, selling, and collecting NFTs has grown among crypto enthusiasts and the global artist community of late.

The sales of NFTs reached some $25 billion (roughly Rs. 1,84,700 crore) in 2021 as the speculative crypto asset exploded in popularity, data from market tracker DappRadar showed.
